On the Monopoly Online Board

YouTube occupies a high-traffic stretch just past Jail. Statistically, players exit Jail and land in this region of the board more often than any other, which makes Social Networks properties extremely desirable. A monopoly here can pay for itself within just a few opponent rolls.

YouTube is at board position 19. Players reach it by landing on the corresponding square after rolling the dice from any earlier position, or by drawing a Chance card that advances them directly to a property.

Color Group Strategy

Statistically the most landed-on color group (Social Networks), thanks to dice probabilities from the Jail and Chance squares. Many serious Monopoly players consider this the single best group to control — high traffic combined with mid-range build costs.
